More quotes by Alison Moyet
Instead of thinking that's a nice tune, you start thinking is it the right pace, is it the right tempo? That is the death nell for artists.
Alison Moyet
The press gave me a voice too quickly, and that could have unsettled a man who had every right to feel he should be in control of the thing he had created.
Alison Moyet
It wasn't like I felt I was on a wave. It was just so easy. It is only afterwards that I thought I really had a bit of good luck going on there with Yazoo.
Alison Moyet
I have never done any other job. I have sung in bands since I was 15. I left school completely unqualified. I have no other training.
Alison Moyet
I had been with the label since I was 21. The label wanted shiny pop but I didn't. I found a little independent and we've got all these great reviews in England and now it has gone gold.

When you make a lot of money for a record company, they don't want you to evolve. Growing older, you naturally do.
Alison Moyet
I've always been other. I've always felt odd I have always felt foreign in the environment I've been in. When you are young, that is a really uncomfortable thing to feel. As an older woman I really embrace it.
Alison Moyet
When you find yourself on stage singing and you are embarrassed about what you are singing in front of your peers, then you have to think about your priorities.
Alison Moyet
When you have a creative mind it doesn't stop going.
Alison Moyet
I spend a lot of time on Twitter, and it's a very interesting place. People are so driven to aggression. To me it's a funny thing. I grew up in an aggressive family, so I'm not at all intimidated by being verbally abused. I have no fear with words.
Alison Moyet
The press Yazoo were receiving were focused on the voice, This obviously was about trends.
Alison Moyet
I think the world is a dead carcass and I think the purpose of human beings is as maggots.
Alison Moyet
Yazoo is the name of an old blues label and also a town in America. I like it because it doesn't mean a thing, it has no immediate connotations. That's what I hate about so many names today - they're so obviously fashionable.
Alison Moyet
I wasn't good at being affable. You get beyond that and realise the attraction in any human being has more to do with what they give to someone rather than just being face candy.
Alison Moyet
I was a single parent, and I was prohibited from working.
Alison Moyet
I came from a small town and at school in one class there was me, a member from Depeche Mode and someone who went on to join The Cure. That was all in one class of 30 kids.
Alison Moyet
It is interesting seeing young people these days and watching how unimportant music is in their lives compared with our generation.
